The Nile Project

Nile Project is, as the name suggests, a project that brings together various artists from various African countries such as Burundi, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan and Uganda.

Through an innovative approach combining music and education, the Nile Project addresses the cultural and environmental challenges that are at the root of conflicts along the banks of the Nile. It is not therefore a simple musical group, but a real active collective for the safeguarding and the human and cultural development of the interested populations which, according to the group's words, "inspires, educates and exhorts Nile citizens to work together To promote the sustainability of their river's ecosystem. "

On their beautiful site (http://nileproject.org), you can find detailed information about the project's goals and the results already achieved as well as all the details about the music group.

From the strictly musical point of view, the group produced in 2013 a first live album entitled "Aswan", followed by a second album titled "Jinja" in 2017. For some time, the third album is expected to be "Tana".
